Happy Birthday! Happy Belated Birthday, Bruce! Sorry I didn't see this sooner, I was stuck in the purgatory of Bonus Ball!! Hope You Had a Great One! Carl

Perhaps Maybe. But, I think this isn't just another tragic attempt to stimulate American Pro Pool. I'm glad I went to the Friday Night Tournament at my local place. My money supported local players and local business. Marketing 101. cajunfats(Carl)

Thanks Bill. Perhaps some of that time playing league in Germany, working with John Lewis at the BCA, and a stint in Native American Casino Marketing gave me my perspectives. Didn't hurt to help manage a family Cajun Specialty Food Company either. If I were a marketing advisor for Bonus Ball...

I Love You, Man! Jimmy, as always, bullseye! If someone is busy doin' all the splainin', he ain't listenin'! This isn't selling cars, with a salesperson draped on your skirt telling you the virtues of the kid friendly SUV. Momma knows what she wants for her brood, and shopping, and soccer...

Investor Exposure Since I don't give away my marketing expertise for free,lol, except on AZ, I would be reaching numerous potential team investors(Nuveau Rich) in Asia through this in house production, where the quality and editing are superior to the crap we got online. With the influx of...

Jay, I just posted my theory about the main goal of BB from a post by Justin. That, with your post also shows how an effort to steamroll this into a purposeful power play to permanently draw the pro's away from major tournaments is at work here. If BB's WPBL were to contract the players, would...

I have a theory Justin, I believe that your last sentence dovetails into a theory I have about the goal of Bonus Ball. Bonus Ball is totally developed for the burgeoning Asian Market, esp. China. The professional players are being used to Beta Test this concept. They have name recognition...

Lots of good choices I will add only one. Gary Medlin(GEM Cues) out of Lake Charles,Louisiana. No CNC, all handwork, and if you want to play pool with your monster, his cues are great. In the future a cue in this price range will increase dramatically, I guarantee it. On AZ his handle is...

Extra's Shillin' for BB Thank You! I know I was happy to get "seat money" for Roseanne and Win Ben Stein's Money back in the gap. Hell, I even got a slice for Ripley's!! Shill's money be green!! I gots to rep you for dat!

What future entity? I was able to catch a couple of minutes of some young lady moving her lips. As I observed the players, it looked as if they had this look of,...shit! what am I doing here? on their faces. The uniforms look like they came from Target, and as far as I could tell, the "audience...

Misuse of Opening Time As a minimum, BB could have opened with the intro of Rules, Players,Teams,etc. Even a taped intro with a segue to announcers would have been acceptable. I am online now getting a server message. They could take a few lessons from Big Truck on how to occupy customer wait...

I Left The Billiard Congress of America in 1996. And basically, didn't look back at pool the same way. Jay knows exactly how much John Lewis's Dream was to get the BCA to support his vision of Olympic Recognition. Yes, Jay, the BCA has wasted a lot of time, energy, and money on these fruitless...

Uh Huh!! I agree. Why would any self respecting sports attorney go slumming for pool players? The ability to move their income earning potential won't happen immediately. Haha,lmao, "special needs" is a great analogy. Wanted to rep you for that but mods have you receiving too much green...

Maybe some help There are a couple of people on AZ that may be near enough to advise or even help. One is Gary Medlin, winners07 here on az, and Shane, Cuephoric also here. Gary has recently finished a gold crown for a local guy near Lake Charles. He has two other 8 ft. GC's he's working on...

One Overlooked Aspect of Professional Players This has been a lively thread, to say the least. Lots of interesting points. In a segue from the Bonus Ball and Tunica discussion, much of this would be resolved by having the one thing that other professional sports utilize for their players...

All you need to do is walk in and say,"Wer zockt mit mir fuer ein tausender?" and wave a fistful of those damn Euro's in the air.,,,you will have those German kids falling all over each other to get to you. Oh yeah, and tell them you play Straight Pool, that will give you the edge.:eek::wink...

I have just finished reading all the posts in this thread. Jay's statement in the OP is what intrigued me to read it all. What he said about the whole set of circumstances back then, I am completely familiar with having been at the BCA during that period. He is correct that decision making has...

Mark Wilson is a Blessing You guys were great. I will forever hate the BCA Board of Directors for not extending support for this program and allowing it to develop, streamline, and reach other universities to showcase young talent. Mark, Jerry, Scott, and Fran have my lifelong respect. Mark...
